For the fourth straight season, the Los Angeles Kings and Edmonton Oilers will be facing off in the first round of the playoffs. The first three meetings went the way of the Oilers, but this year feels like it might be different.

The Sharks clinched last place thanks to the Chicago Blackhawks losing 5-4 in overtime in their Saturday night matchup against the Winnipeg Jets.

I got the chance to speak with James van Riemsdyk about how, as he faced his old team in Toronto on Saturday, he found himself once again playing a veteran role at the beginning of a bright future for an up-and-coming Blue Jackets squad on @DailyFaceoff https://t.co/OGVgv0xKHd

I love the Stars forward core and I love Oettinger, but it’s really hard to see this Stars team as a Cup contender with how they play defense, especially without Miro Heiskanen

First time in NHL history a team has come down from 3 goals in the final minute to win a game according to Victory+ postgame show.
